L: Had this beer on-tap at Capital Ale House - Innsbrook, poured into a pint glass. Had a golden yellow color and a slightly hazy consistency. There was a half inch of creamy, fairly long-lasting head. Above average lacing.
S: A good, but not great, aroma of hops, citrus fruit, malt, melon, and a grainy quality.
T: Tasted of a bit of melon (kind of fleeting), some of the grainy quality (a little grating), a good shot of hops (not overdone, but close to it), and some citrus fruit (lemon, in particular). This is a decent enough flavor, but it's a little out of whack. The graininess clashes with the hops. Still, not terrible.
F: A good amount of carbonation with a dry, smooth finish. Medium-bodied.
O: An uneven beer, but still worth a look.

Clear gold in color. Light head and massive clingy lacing like a double spiderweb!!. Aroma is light with melon, Berry and light citrus. Mouth feel is nice, beer is balanced, lightly sweet and no notice of the over 7%abv. Great IPA
